Six Half

Kikukawa Shiori wakes up from a motorcycle accident only to find out she’s lost her memory! Try as she might, she can’t remember anything about the yankee-looking boy who claims to be her boyfriend, her kind-hearted and good looking older brother, or her aloof and introverted younger sister.

When she goes to school for the first time since her accident, she overhears people talking about her—and the things they say aren’t flattering. From what she hears, she was a terrible person before the accident. Was she really as horrible as they’re making her out to be? And will she ever get her memory back?

I started a chapter discussion of this manga on Manga Fox. I was so hyped . Then BAM, Mitzuki appeared, then she and the ” brother” got together, became intimate, almost like husband and wife already….. My enthusiasm went down the drain. I shipped the ” brother ” and the main girl, you see. Then I started rooting for Kai, the main’s ex….. but then he had sex with another girl. I hate this story now. I can’t read it anymore. I’ll read it when it’s finished.

You know that classmate, I think her name is Chika something, the main girl’s supposed to be good friend/classmate. She and kai had sex when the main had stopped acknowledging him because of her amnesia.

Actually, I don’t want Shiori to end up with with these 2 guys, especially Akio, the ” brother”. And I highly doubt Akio will end up with Shiori. Normally, when the supposed main guy character is shown being intimate with another girl, he will not end up with the main girl.Just my prediction.

hehe… I know a few titles where the main guy slept with other girls, but finally he end up with main heroine ^^ Who knows, how will be this time

I agree with you. Both Kai and Akio are boring. There is nothing special in them. It’s one of this series, which I read for heroine

raffmanga, normally, the author will not show sex graphically. It’s a rare manga where the guy who is shown doing it with another girl ends up with the main girl. Usually, it is just told or implied. But you’re right… there are mangas where the main guy does it , and is shown, then ends up with the main girl. Offhand, I know of at least 5 shojous…. though this is quite normal in joseis and shounens.

can smn please please please tell me if she’ll end up with her bro? ..cuz i won’t ever read this manga if it’s true.. even though she lost those damn memories she don’t give a fuck to that boy who loved her since the beginning.. tch such emotionless

Who’s the guy you said she didn’t care about ? Kai, her schoolmate? I think from the beginning, she has always liked her ” brother “. It won’t be incest because he’s not blood related. I used to ship them at the beginning of the story, but once he got a GF, and became intimate with his GF, I stopped shipping them. In fact. I’m afraid to read this. i have not really read this since then. I find it depressing.

well at first..i mean when she lost her memories and though that that guy is her real bro, she liked him even though she know that.. yeah sure being intimate with his ex is nothing but normal thing.. it’s not really the prob here, i just don’t like how this story going anymore, her non-blood related bro isn’t the one for her, not at all.. from my view !

I’m kind of* shipping him and Shiori. :”) If she can’t/won’t end up with Kai, and if there’s a possibility of her ending up with anyone at all, I’d rather see her being all sweet and cuddly with the four-eyed manager. Sorry A-chan, I won’t be cheering for you at all. :I

Thank you so much for translating Six Half and providing raws. I had stopped following it so closely when the scanlations slowed down. I didn’t realize someone else had picked it up. I’m so grateful you’re just as big a fan! Now I have to do some catch up and then come back with some thoughts XD Thanks again!

Just wanted to throw in a huge grateful thanks to KazeYuki for all her/his wonderful translations and going through the trouble to give us chapter 40! Just the actual self-confession is enough to keep me going on this manga for quite a while. All that subtle tension that’s been built up, it’s going to be brain-melting when they do finally get together. I look forward to it! Thanks again so much KazeYuki!!

And of course, I don’t have to say how much I appreciate raffmanga’s raws.

My thoughts on this chapter.

I have this gut feeling that the story the author is trying to convey here is all about family, and the struggles of the ” siblings” , mostly A-chan to have one, and to keep it. Though this is a good story, I find it totally depressing because I ‘ve been reading this story with romance between A-chan and Shiori on my mind. But it does look like it’s not going to end this way.

So, okay, A-chan and Shiori confess their love for each other, but both have made it sound like it’s family love. What’s sad is that we all know what Shiori feels is not brotherly love, but has vowed to keep that love a secret, forever. I’m not sure anymore if what A-chan has felt for Shiori before is unbrotherly love. I have a feeling it really is family love, although for a while, it did confuse A-chan. But Mizuki and that new girl know A-chan might have feelings for Shiori too. So, it confuses me too.

But the bottomline, I think, is that family unity trumps “love”.

Shiori will be successful as a model, which will give her happiness too, A-chan is happy he keeps his siblings together…. and he goes to that new girl with a clear and satisfied heart, ( there’s a reason that new girl appears at almost the end of the story…. she’s A-chan’s ending girl ) and Maho reconciles with Shiori.

The End.

* goes in a corner and cries * I am the original A-chan-Shiori shipper.

why.. i hv this heavy feeling that both shiori n achan will go on to become “bro-sis” althogh both of them already realize their own feeling towards each other (am not talking about the i love you in the newest chapter. they said that as an “undecover” bro-sis feeling.) i want progress… im tired seeing achan hooked up w/other girl. if shiori n achan arent end up together, this manga will left me a really bitter feeling and heavyness… im unhappy… :((

THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR THE TRANSLATION!!! Translator… You r an angel!! bless you!
and raff, thank you for the newest cahpt!

We won’t get tired of seeing A-chan hooking up with another girl. There’s a reason why the new girl comes in late, ha ha ha. A-chan ( and maho) is the one that gets the happy ending. He gets to keep Maho and Shiori with him, and has a girl to make his happiness and satisfaction complete. I think the author will just show us they are together one time, ha ha ha.

meanwhile, it will be a painful life for Shiori, keeping her love a secret.

* sigh *

I hope this is not the ending. I’m seriously not going to read any work of this author.

ouwh… geezz… if this manga endedup w/shiori still keep her love from achan and achan end up w/maho. it really will left a bitter unhappy-heavyness feeling in my heart n memory. nooooo… :((
maho already knew that achan has “special” feeling towards shiori. if the author kept push all this “we are family” thing as in bro-sis between achan-shiori., i rather…. ughh….

Oh ! I didn’t know Maho already knew A-chan has feelings for Shiori . Where did you read that ? I know that maho knows Shiori likes A-chan. That’s why she always tried getting A-chan and Mizuki to be together, even saying stuff to make Shiori jealous.

But since they look like they have all reconciled, especially maho and Shiori, maybe Maho will try to set up A-chan and Shiori together ? because , you know, if A-chan hooks up with another girl, there’s a possibility A-chan will spend more time with his girlfriend, like he did with Mizuki. ( he slept over at Mizuki’s house and was not home often ) Maho wanted A-chan to be with Mizuki for the simple reason that she wanted Shiorito be depressed and sad.

I don’t know, I’m not sold on the idea that the story is coming to an end yet. In fact, I think it’s more of the opposite. I think we’re finally getting some progress (chapter 40) because Akio has finally come to terms with his feelings for Shiori. Before, it was subtle, you never knew for certain what Akio felt for Shiori. We’ve gone through 40 chapters of Akio’s waffling, but now we know for sure. Akio’s confession is a step forward for Akio+Shiori’s love story if this is ultimately what the manga will be about.

Chapter 41 is, IMO, just a way for the manga-ka to keep the story running. The whole “I will lock away my feelings” forever trope in forbidden romances is almost always a red herring in my experience. She’s doing the whole two steps forwards, two steps back dance with the readers to keep the story going.

Shiori loves Akio too much for it to end in a familial fashion, IMO. Think of it this way, her love is so unconditional that she still fell in love with him all over again despite having lost her memories. It could be a case that her emotions for Akio were so deeply ingrained inside her that her subconscious allowed her to fall in love with him again or it’s just a case of true love/soulmates. That given the chance to start over with a clean slate and no icky past to hinder her, Shiori will always, unfailingly, be drawn to Akio.

I think that’s why Iketani-sensei has been careful about not being explicit with Shiori and Kai’s s*x scenes. Although they’ve been intimate, she never shows anything beyond a hint of what’s going on. It lacks the romantic intimacy that indicates them as the “real couple.” Kai is a red herring too, I think he’ll be the guy that gets hurt, but who turns out to be her truest best friend.

It’s still my belief that Shiori and Akio together are the end game. Akio’s confession in the latest chapters just confirms it for me.

I agree. because seriously, Shiori is the super main here,( the story is all about her ), but if she doesn’t get together with A-chan, whom she has loved forever, then I feel it’s so pointless.

But, hasn’t she parted from Kai? Finally ?

By the way, is there a hint A-chan will accept that girl’s proposition? I don’t think the author will do that…. it’s like , been there, done that…. it’s just a repetition of Misuki-A-chan hook – up. However, maybe the author’s theme is family unity ? The mother of Shiori and maho has already delegated family duties to A-chan.

I don’t know. I hope you’re right, @LINT….. I’ll be the first one to jump for joy if Shiori gets a happy ending. The possibility is 50-50.

I would also be massively disappointed if Akio and Shiori didn’t end up together too. What separates Six Half from the rest of the fluffy shoujo is that, despite it ultimately being a tale of romance (which I believe it is), it delves into issues of family, identity, and starting over in a comparatively compelling fashion.

Also, from a pragmatic point of view, Six Half is serialized in Cookie magazine, which is technically a shoujo magazine. It’s the same magazine that serializes NANA and a variety of more maturely-themed shoujo where romance is a key theme, which is why I don’t foresee a happy family type ending only. I’ve read a couple of her other scanlated works too, and they’ve all had some form of a happy ending or another. I don’t see Six Half being the lone deviation, which is why I predict Shiori will end up with someone – presumably Akio.

I’m not sure what Shiori’s relationship with Kai is right now? I’ve looked at the raws, and it does seem that they’re separated, but I don’t want to take any guesses without really knowing what’s going on with them. Hopefully, we’ll get caught up with those missing chapters one day.

I’m also curious about what will happen between Akio and the new girl. It does seem repetitive to have Akio go out with another girl when we all ready had that same story with Mizuki. It’ll be interesting to see where the story goes now that the mother arc is now wrapping up. I think after all is said and done with this particular arc, Akio might finally be able to be free of the guilt he’s carried around for being the reason behind the breakup of his father and stepmother’s marriage.

It’s Akio’s guilt that has caused him to deny his feelings for Shiori. He doesn’t want to be responsible for causing yet another rift in his family, which would have surely happened had he returned her feelings while their father was alive. Still, there’s really not telling what Maho’s reaction would be if Akio and Shiori ever got together. Her feelings about a potential non-platonic relationship between Akio and Shiori will ultimately affect Akio’s decision to be with Shiori – should he ever choose to be with her.

Well, let’s keep our fingers crossed anyway 😉 Six Half is one of a handful of shoujo that I actively follow and I’d probably throw a huge hissy fit if the ending isn’t Shiori+Akio.

I felt a bit wary when you wrote Six Half is being published on the same magazine as Nana’s. ^^

But of course it’s so obvious from get go Six-Half won’t be our regular garden variety shojou. In the first place, the author let us see the hero of the story having explicit s*x with another girl. The author has straightforwardly shown us the couple, A-chan and Mizuki, are practically living like husband and wife. There was a time when A-chan barely came home to sleep at their house. He was sleeping over at Mizuki’s. I was like, ” Okay, that’s it… I’m dropping this.” So,A-chan’s friend, that guy ? , has actually told Shiori don’t expect anything from A-chan anymore. He and Mizuki are at that point where they are going to marry anytime. And A-chan had sincerely loved Mizuki, the way a guy loved his lover. So I don’t know why they even broke up. I have not really read that part. And I won’t read until this is completed , and I’m satisfied with the ending.

That said, I still have that nagging feeling they won’t end up together. It will be a bittersweet ending. Sweet because they love each other THAT way, Bitter because they have decided to suppress their feelings. The story seems to center and focus on family unity, and resolution of their family problems and guilt. At this point, this seems to have been solved. No more issue with the mother, no more guilt from A-chan, Maho and Shiori are somewhat reconciled, and it looks like Maho is okay with Shiori now.

And A-chan has a girl with no issue with Shiori. And since the manga looks like it’s going to end soon, it doesn’t make sense that the author will show another girl for A-chan if she won’t play an important role. From their conversation, it seems A-chan is amenable to hooking up with her. The problem is, didn’t he and Mizuki break up because of Shiori? I mean, he and Shiori had a stable relationship, but nevertheless broke -up, so what’s the point of getting together with another girl when A-chan is now free to be with Shiori ?

Haha, well NANA is still ongoing, so who knows yet, right? 😉 I only meant that manga serialized in Cookie magazine usually takes a more mature approach to shoujo. Most of the stories are centered on romance and usually there’s a happy ending of sorts despite the difficulties that the couple traverses to get there.

I didn’t enjoy the intimate Mizuki/Akio moments either, but I like that we were given those moments of realism into Akio’s relationship. It fits into the overall tone of the manga plus it amps up the drama ^^ It’s important to note that Akio didn’t fight very hard to work out his relationship with Mizuki when she wanted to break up. He treated her as a lover and he may have fooled himself and his friends into believing that she was his childhood love, but his actions speak differently.

Mizuki must have understood on some level that Akio’s heart wasn’t totally committed to her. There are a couple of moments in the manga where she figures it out, and although it may have seemed like paranoia on her part during the time, we now know that what she felt and sensed was indeed true. I don’t think Akio purposely led her on. I he was totally committed to the idea of having a “normal” relationship, because let’s face it, his feelings for Shiori are outside the norm. What he feels for Shiori comes with a boatload of guilt and shame and it’s easier for him to buy into the delusion of being in love with someone like his childhood friend (who adores him) than it would be to admit that he’s in love with Shiori.

While I think the new girl might seem appealing as a love interest for Akio, I have doubts as to whether Akio will start a relationship with her. Now that he’s admitted what he feels for Shiori, it might end up being a situation where he can’t accept someone else’s feelings half-heartedly since he’s in love with someone else. It’s a popular trope, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see it appear here.

I think we’ll just have to wait and see how it goes with the next couple of chapters. I don’t think it’s ending soon to be honest. I think there’s still a lot of material to explore before it winds up. None of the others know she’s gotten her memories back and I think Kai and Shiori are still in limbo with their relationship. I wish I knew how popular this series was in Japan. That’s a factor too.

There’s no translations for those chapters yet. Any translation that you see on this site is voluntary. It’s done by another fan or reader (like you or me) who has the time, skill, and the very, very generous inclination to do so. The raws have been [kindly] provided by RaffManga as well as the scanlating application.

In this case, you can see that a fellow fan named KazeYuki has been doing all the translations that we’ve seen so far. He/she doesn’t have to do it, and he/she doesn’t need to do it, which is why any Six Half fan should worship at his/her feet because he/she’s doing it at all 😉

@Lint, I’ve been waiting for your comment since this latest chapter has come out. This is one of the few mangas that I’m really apprehensive to read. I love this manga but it has given me ulcer, ha ha.

Anyway, from your last comment, you feel that this is not going to end yet… I have to disagree….. most of the plotlines that have driven the story up to this point have been resolved, more or less.

So, though I feel that A-chan going into a relationship again with another girl is a repetition of previous plotline ( with Mizuki ) , I think the fact that this new girl comes in late means that she’ll be the ending girl for A-chan WITHOUT THE DRAMA, anymore, since it seems Shiori has already accepted the fact that she cannot be with A-chan romantically, with A-chan having similar thoughts. It is also important to note that the girl is aware that she’s coming into the relationship with her eyes wide open to the fact that A-chan loves Shiori, but she’w willing to be with him, hoping that in time, A-chan will someday accept her feelings. ( Unlike Mizuki who couldn’t accept it )

I haven’t read the latest chapter, though, so I don’t have any idea what has happened after the ” confessions”.

@megaworthit Hey! I’ve been around, just haven’t had much to say since there hasn’t been a new chapter translation yet 😀 I’m going to withhold judgment about what I think will happen until this latest chapter gets translated. This chapter is going to set the tone for where this manga is headed next.

But just from looking at the raws, I get the feeling that Akio is getting closer to allowing his feelings for Shiori to surface. We’ll see and cross our fingers XD

I ‘m such a coward. I don’t know what’s with this story that scares me, lol. In fact, I won’t read yet until, first, I’ve read your comment and opinion, and second, if I like it, lol.

We can’t judge from the drawings if indeed A-chan is allowing his feelings to show. After all, he has somewhat decided that he will show love to her, but only as a loving brother, and not romantically. So most likely that’s the kind of loving the drawings convey.

A-chan is with the new girl on the last few pages… and he’s drunk. Why do I have this nagging feeling these two will sleep together soon. Everytime he’s with her, he’s drinking. It’s so easy for temptation to come in, and have a go with her.

Noooo ! There’s a new translation from KazeYuki ! ! ! * facepalm* I can’t read it yet ! Wanna read first what @Lint thinks of this chapter. There’s another manga that also makes me jittery everytime I see an update. It’s Kanojo wa Uso wo Aishisugeteru. I’m just waiting for the main guy, Aki, to cheat on Mush, and when that’s gonna be? That’s the thing that makes me jittery.

There’s no incest here. They are not blood siblings. Shiori is the daughter of her mother with a different man. A-chan is the son of the man whom Shiori’s mother got married to. A-chan’s father and Shiori’s mother had a kid together, Maho. Simply, when the parents got married, they both have children from their former wife and husband.

Maho is then the half sister of A-chan and Shiori. But Shiori and A-chan aren’t blood related.

i must say gazzilion thank you for kazeyuki who incredibly make the translation for all of us. and also to raff who always give us a fresh update raw of this series.
Im happy for chapter 42. at last!! A chan more and more show his feeling toward shiori., i knw the mangaka will still throw us abig hurdle and many annoying things to separate a cahn n shiori, and shiori also getting more and more fame, so a different problem will be arise between Acahn and her. i’ll take it all, gladly. As long as The mangaka dont put another Girl for A chan please no girl bitchy rival for shiori n Achan. but id love to see if there’s some handsome idol in showbiz who got interest in shiori. i want more jelous Achan!

I don’t know what to make of this chapter. Their feelings are right under their noses, but they both are running away from each other. How long will this go on? A-chan is again hurting Shiori by telling her he and that girl are in a relationship. The mangaka is a sadist. O.o

The story is going nowhere romantically. I think Shiori should move out and forget her feelings for A-chan, and be successful as an actress. A-chan is a coward, and doesn’t deserve her love.

dont say that megaworthit, i dont think he’s a coward, just an orphan who try to protect the bond btwn the three it’s hard to choose btwn his feelings for shiori or the more important relation that he did protect the whole time betwin the three sibling

I know I shouldn’t say it @LEHIN, and I’m aware too that his priority is to keep the family together, not to mention the guilt that he’s carrying regarding the separation of Shiori’s mother and his own father. But all his actions had brought so much hurt and pain to other people. When he broke up with Mizuki, I thought he would correct his mistake , and start to be honest and true to his feelings…. but it looks like he’s doing it again. He should be decisive and brave, and be honest, and let the chips fall where they may, as long as he does what needs to be done , no matter what the consequences might be. We do know that everything that happened to Shiori in the past was the result of A-chan’s actions. And now he’s doing it again, telling Shiori he’s got a girlfriend.

I get your frustration too, but I think Akio’s actions have been understandable. It was never his intent to hurt Shiori or even Mizuki. Shiori’s feelings for him evolved on their own; he never returned them nor did he lead her on. It would have been worse had he indulged in any type of non-platonic relationship with Shiori at such a young age and in a family environment where they were living as brother and sister. Akio could never have predicted that Shiori’s unrequited love for him would warp her behavior. I say this with some experience as the eldest sibling in my family, and I understand the responsibility he feels towards his family – to his father and to his sisters. Throw some heavy guilt into that equation and it makes perfect sense why Akio felt he couldn’t do any wrong.

As for Mizuki, she broke up with him. I thought Akio loved Mizuki in his own way. Perhaps not in the same manner that he does Shiori, but I think there was genuine affection for her on his part. She was his childhood friend and if there was a touch of delusion on his part in regards to her being his first love, I’d say it was normal given the circumstances. Akio having a childhood love is more normal than admitting he was in love with a younger sister (blood-related or not).

I do believe that he’s now being honest about his feelings, but I don’t think it necessarily makes him a coward for not acting on them. He still believes that Shiori loves Kai (she goes as far as telling Akio that she’ll be Kai’s wife in the future); not to mention the whole being in love with your sister taboo. His whole life has revolved around his family, and it’s going to take time and something big to make him confess. Like realizing that he can’t live without her? Or knowing that she doesn’t love Kai at all.

Most importantly, don’t forget that Akio still doesn’t know that Shiori got her memories back, so he doesn’t know that she remembers being in love with him. In his mind, if he were to confess now when she thinks of him only as a brother, she’d probably be revolted.

I know A-chan has never intentionally hurt Shiori. He doesn';t even have an inkling on the extent of Shiori’s love for him. maybe it would have been better if he knew. That way, there was a chance he wouldn’t hook up with Mizuki and instead found a way to solve the issue. He totally suppressed his feelings for her, and tried giving them to Mizuki. Well, it didn’t work, despite the s*x and all. What frustrates me is his passivity. And of course, there he goes again. I’m afraid he might hook up again with that girl, and vent his feelings for Shiori on that girl who is, unfortunately, totally willing. A-chan rolls that way, I’m afraid.

Wow, was it more or could you cut the s*xu*l/romantic tension in this chapter (ch 42) with a knife? I think this manga is finally moving in the right direction.

I believe there’s going to be some obstacles before Akio and Shiori do get together (if they do), but from the way the story is moving, all roads seem to lead towards an Akio and Shiori pairing. The mother has been conveniently removed from the equation, allowing Akio and Shiori to share the same roof again. I also thought it was interesting that she mentioned Shiori’s strange attachment to Akio too. Now that the mother arc is over with, I think the next one will revolve around Shiori’s blossoming idol career and the possible separation she faces from her family (but mostly Akio).

Also, a side note before I forget, has Maho finally forgiven Shiori? There’s some chapters that haven’t been translated so I’m still not quite clear whether they’re on good terms or not. If not, I do have to wonder why Maho was able to so easily forgive their mother (who abandoned them and also tried to steal their inheritance, wtf?), and yet she still holds a grudge against Shiori.

But back to the chapter, I really enjoyed the amped up tension between Shiori and Akio. Shiori’s flustered awareness of Akio and that cute back and forth stare contest that resulted in the physical grappling almost made me faint, lol. It was always so subtle before, but this time it’s more obvious that Akio is jealous. More than anything else, there has been a lot of progress with Akio’s feelings towards Shiori. Admitting his feelings has opened a floodgate of revelation that’s manifested itself in many unexpected ways for him. His defensive walls are gradually tumbling down and I think he has no control over it, but I still think it will take time.

I think the manga-ka is still taking the slow route using Shiori and Akio’s persistence in keeping the family status quo as barriers to their relationship. It’s something of a misunderstanding too, because neither one of them knows/thinks the other person loves them in a non-platonic manner. There needs to be a confession to clear things up. I believe I’ve mentioned it before, but I think the deciding factor will be Maho. Whether or not she will give her approval will make up the their minds. I don’t think either one would sacrifice Maho to have a relationship. It does frustrate me though, because I want them to just throw caution to the wind and be together, but then again real life never plays out like that.

You asked if Maho had forgiven Shiori. I’m sure she had, though Maho is still a bit awkward, and Shiori is trying very hard to erase that awkwardness.

Akio has always been jealous even before. He was jealous of Kai’s and Shiori’s relationship, but suppresed that too. Everything that happened was because of him. And as I said, he’s doing it again. If only he would be honest and just put everything on the table.

By the way, Maho had always known Shiori loved Akio, in a non-brotherly way. She always intentionally let Shiori know Mizuki and Akio had mutual feelings, even telling her Mizuki was Akio’s GF. And that was before Mizuki and Akio formally got together. But now that maho has ” forgiven” Shiori, I hope she does something to make up for what she did in the past.

thank you raffmanga for the scans and KazuYuki for the translations!!! I can’t believe that we only have 2 chapters left!! this manga is so good!!! is my first time reading something labeled under the psychological genre and I love it!!
please iketani-sensei write a happy ending for Akio and Shi-chan! lol

Kai….. it’s a pity because he does love Shiori deeply, to the point that he thinks his short relationship with Shiori is like a dream. that is so sad. Ending with him is not bad at all. But I highly doubt it will happen. I think this is the chapter where we last see Kai’s character. It’s really sad.

A-chan…… he’s doing it again. Being passive, and worse, doing the opposite of what he really wants.
It’s a pity Shiori loves him very much. he doesn’t deserve her love.

Since there are only 2 chapters left before the END, I feel the ending will be Shiori being independent, and being successful in her career. And A-chan will get together again with someone who likes him, without fighting for love.

Otherwise, unless someone intervenes, like that guy Daichi, and tells A-chan Shiori’s pain and hurt, and A-chan pulls himself together, the END will be what I wrote above.

i just started reading this manga the day before yesterday…and now learned its ending…2014 has become the end of many awesome mangos…:(..thank god for raffmanga for publishing raws of all the awesome mangas……..the ending of this manga and HNR are scaring me to have an hearth attack

I think it’s clear Maho said those means things to Shiori for her sake. She remembered A-chan telling her moving away was what’s best for Shiori’s sake so she was being mean in order for Shiori to think she’d better move out.
Since there are two chapters left what I think is either A-chan will rush to Tokyo and have THE talk with Shiori leading to them becoming a couple at last.The second option I can envisage is a time-skip.Not too long? maybe 3 or 4 years. A-chan will have graduated, Maho will be a highschool senior and thus A-chan will be able to join Shiori in Tokyo. He could work there while Shiori continues being a successful actress/model and later be joined by Maho when she goes to university IN Tokyo and achieve her dream of becoming a doctor.

Either way I’m positive these two will end up together, I hope I’m not wrong.

I’m sure there was a reason for that attitude, still….. it was quite brutal.

I’m thinking of time skip, too. there is no way this last issue can be resolved in 2 chapters. Either it’s a time skip, or a rushed, unsatisfactory and anti-climatic ending unless one chapter would have 70 pages.

Having a time skip particulary in this story does not bode well for these two, unless, it contains them being married with kids, lol. It can go another route….. Shiori successful, alone and independent, and A-chan married to another, with kid, and perhaps maho is with Shiori in Tokyo, studying at the uni, ( she can’t stay with A-chan with a wife and kids, ha ha ), then last panel would be all of them together in a reunion. THE END.

I have actually been reading this for Shiori, but I did ship her and A-chan, but later I got off the ship when A-chan got together with Mizuki….. and worse, I don’t know why the author had to show A-chan and Mizuki graphically having xxx. She could just have implied it. I dropped this manga like a hot potato, and resumed reading when they broke up.

To be honest, I just want Shiori to be very, very successful in her career, and find herself a good man.

Yeah she did not have the best approach but she’s just a kid, I guess haha. And even though she forgave Shiori I think she’s still not super comfortable talking to her.

I’ve read your previous comments and I noticed you were not a fan of A-chan x Shiori. I get your point but I still ship them together like crazy. I actually think it’s good the author showed us A-chan having s*x with whatever was her name (I actually know her name but don’t want to write it cause I hate her xD) because it emphasized how desperate he was to forget about his feelings for Shiori and how he thought having s*x would help in the process. Sure it was a huge failure. I also think it showed how weak their relationship was, I mean apart from having s*x they didn’t really do much together. But I agree, it wasn’t a pleasant sight.
And you’re right it could be that in the end, A-chan gets married and have kids and Shiori ends up with someone else. I just don’t buy it because:
– It’s a shoujo manga…it happens that the couple doesn’t end together but in this case, I think they will.They’ve been in love since childhood so it fits. We also know she doesn’t love Kai, the only for her to not end up with A-chan would be to introduce a random dude but that would be reaaaally rushed.
– I ship them so I’m in denial.

But well, once again it’s just wishful thinking. I can’t wait for the two chapters left >_<

Thank you thank you THANK YOU for the raws raffmanga. Absolutely love six half. Kazuyuki you are phenomenal thanks for all the translations! I’m dying to read 32-39 so if anyone has the skill and time pleasseeeee translate those! Ahhhhh love this

Omg… It’s… it’s over! Wow, I thought it would at least take a few more chapters to wrap up, but I’m so glad for them. ;u; And Maho, what a good little sister! Thank you so much for uploading this series, Raff! I’ve been following it since it was first scanlated and I really enjoyed reading it.

Awww he said it again “Ai shiteru”. I love this couple so much.So this is the end,right ? I thought it would be a little longer but I get the feeling it all wrapped up nicely.I can’t wait for the translation,great serie overall, it’s been licensed in my country so I’ll make sure to buy all the volumes !

Yes, thank you so much for giving us all these chapters. It would have been years for many of us to wait to see a translated ending if not for you!

I thought there was another chapter too, I wonder why she felt the need to only do just the one The confession was so moving, which is why I’m somewhat satisfied with the end, but I wanted more than just one kiss…

Nice. A-chan finally found the courage to say what he has been feeling for a long time. But I’m right in my character assessment of him. If that guy ( Dai-chan) didn’t talk to him, he would again run away to where it’s safe, and , I can bet all the treasures in the world,he’d hook up with that girl and let go of Shiori. That’s the reason why he had not rejected her confession. She was a back-up.

Although I’m happy for Shiori, Mizuki had so much over her, lol. She and A-chan literally were husband and wife for a long time, while Shiori gets one lousy kiss. LOL

yeah.. i knw right? somethimes i think achan as a guy who dont fight for what he want. he just there, silently, acceptinf anything and go w/the flow. even though he’s been in love or has feeling for shiori for a long times, but he didnt make any of the decision by himself. starting from his break up w/mizuki. He himself felt that he can make a family w/mizuki and be w/her for the rest of his life, even though he start to feel jealousy towatrd shiori-kai relationship. if not mizuki that pushed him to stay apart from shiori and threathened him for a break up, he will never break up w/mizuki. then when his college girl-friend made a confession, again, he cant answered it directly. as if he’s confused but he’s also want to consider his friend’s confession. that happened while his feeling getting stronger to shiori. exactly like wht u said, if dai chan didnt “push” a chan to get what he want, he will never confessed his feeling to shiori, and may ended up w/his girl-friend. at this point, i saw a chan as a weak guy. i prefer kai much more. and yes. after all this surpressing-forbidden feeling between a chan-shiori, in the end, we just got to see 1 kiss. while achan-mizuki had their own love dovey bed scenes. ughhh

Exactly. You nailed it. A-chan does have strong familial ties, but in the romance department, he is one of the weakest character male leads I have read so far. What I hate most about him is he has actually made that latest girl as a back-up. He has not outright rejected her. and I’m as sure as the sun is up there he’ll be with her if things do not turn out well with Shiori.

but hey, A-chan n mizuki had their bed scenes, but shiori n kai also had their own bed scene too. although it’s not explicitely being draw. but there was this scenes where they were at the hotel, where kai is lying on the bed, topless (the bottom part was not shown or was it covered by the sheet? i forgot) while shiori is sitting on the floor right beside kai’s and she only wore her tanktop. Eat THAT A-CHAN!! huh!!! just 1 kissed in the end? arghhh

Wait..so is it over at chapter 44? Nooo, I wanted it to be more of a ‘sensual’ ending..you know what I mean..but I’m glad they ended up together, he was such a sweet boy…but I don’t know…everything is left open..Shiori should visit on weekends..oh..I hope someone could translate the chapters from 31 til 40 so that all of us could understand better..

Anyway, thankfully they’re an official couple, but I wanted it to be more explosive, more emotional, more tears, more ‘action’, should have been all over the place..but I’ll stop now and say they’re the best together..and again I need to mention how sweet he was and she was a stunning woman.

I love this manga so much. I stumbled upon it years ago when it had only a couple of chapters. And recently I tried googling it and I found it and damn i was crying when I read it ok. Especially towards the end. I found the story well laid out and different in terms of the complicated family situation they had. And maho is just so cool for some reason. Geeeez I love this manga, it’s pretty good, and I even checked all the pages for the chapters not translated…

I just hope her fame and bust life won’t get in the way T-T she might become too problematic if she goes in too deep.
Gosh I have an exam tomorrow and it’s past midnight

First off, thank you so much for the translate! But would have been much appreciated it ALL of the chapters was translate, but thanks nonetheless! <3

*Spoiler!!* I know that the siblings couple has gone through so much, but I honestly prefer the Shiori with Kai, he so…<3! He loves her then, loves her now and continues to love & support her..their relationship is so cutee. I couldn't read the chapters that wasn't translated so idk why they broke up(vaguely, i guess)..but still..Shiori x Kai!

Waah it’s been a while since I finished this manga… But only reading in Mangalator is not possible… Even without a single chapter you lose yourself… It’s complicated. Hoping translations; here, in Raffmanga, there are the complicated-to-get raws. Please (>_<')

Hi, i want to continue read six half manga, but i can’t find the chapter n i can’t register neither..

Hi, raff has deleted the chapters link here. The site to access the manga, otakumole is only for members. Since the registration is closed and no one knows when raff gonna open it again, you can participate this event to get the invitation link to register https://raffmanga.ch/lets-write-story-together-part-2/

Where are the chapters? It’s not fair to the newer generation that you close your website and only let old users use it. How about opening it up once a year so that way new people can get in. Otherwise, it’s just unjust that you keep the site going but only for “elite” type of people.
